Why not lobby Philadelphia to set up a museum instead of freeloading off New Yawkers? Unless you're talking about setting up a brand new "all cities transit museum" someplace.Another way Philly could show some initiative is to make Pizza Joints out of the cars; that way some of the revenue could be banked for a future home for the subway cars. Or just keep 'em as pizza joints.  See? Could happen yo. your pal, Fred |

The New York Transit Museum is a division of the MTA and uses facilities provided by the MTA. They have a very limited scope governed by the agency that controls them. It's not like they have their own storage space and maintenance facilities to expand their collection like a private museum would. |

NO WAY!Keep the Philly cars in Philly.The NYC transit museum has there hands full now;what about the "D" types that are rotting away.The "D",s should be the first on a list of cars that should get donation for overhaul/rehab.A few years a go i meet a guy from Philly who worked for SEPTA,and was trying to start up a museum like what we have in NYC.He had a hard time from the people on top.Be glad that we have a a transit museum,and that we have cars that were saved,and have,R1-9 and Low -V, BU,s and others that run.We are lucky that people back in the mid-70,s saved and restored these,s cars.The Philly cars can go to a train museum in PA. |

Just like R32/R38 used to on the A and C. I remember I never saw this done with the R32/38 until sometime around 2000. |

I think the speed limit is around 55 mph, although they do go higher.Never got to experience the alleged 75 mph, thought. Regardless, they put NYC Subway to shame. Although some sections do seem somewhat fast. |

No, a Broad St. car is a Broad St. car. They have nearlyidentical air brake and MU systems, but then again, so do the standards and the D types, or the standards and the R9s. |
